Collaborations Sonic the Hedgehog x Ragnarok Online Special Collaboration Event Starts March 26

[Dreadknux]

Another Sonic the Hedgehog game collaboration is heading our way, and this time it'll be players of Korean RPG Ragnarok Online who will be treated to some fun adventures with the blue blur and his friends. Developer Gravity announced that a Special Collaboration Event will take place in the game between March 26 - April 23, 2024.

During the event, a special dungeon will be made available to play, which will include unique enemies that are styled to look like Dr. Eggman. The "Dr. Eggman's Secret Base" Memorial Dungeon will be accessible inside Prontera, and you'll need to be at a base level of 100 or higher in order to fully enjoy the stage. Once completed, an Exchange NPC will appear so you can swap items gathered for special rewards. That NPC will be none other than Knuckles the Echidna.

When you complete the Memorial Dungeon the first time, you'll win two special items that can be exchanged with Knuckles; a 'Bookmark' item and a 'Reading Card' item. You can also gather Rings in the Dungeon, another special Exchange currency that can help you buy helpful consumable items. The prizes on offer range from character mini-costumes (that also set bonuses), a Dr. Eggman mask and a Chao Egg to be used as a pet.

On top of this, there are microtransaction elements to the collaboration too - using KP currency you can purchase special packages that include a Sonic Badge and exclusive costumes in the form of Super Sonic and a bunch of Chaos Emeralds.

Take a look at some of the sprite-work below - you'll be facing off against Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic and a range of robots that creepily don Eggman's face.

And below you can see some of the costumes in action once unlocked.

Full details of the campaign can be found in the images below...

This collab took my completely by surprise. I'm a huge fan of RO. Looking forward to see how they integrate the characters.

Tails...gets upset when asked more than once about his status as Sonic's sidekick and engineering talents...?

This looks like a really cool collaboration to be fair!

I played this game a LOOOONG time ago (talking...high school -- I'm 37 now). It's an action MMORPG with some cute character designs. I found it kind of basic but it can be fun with friends. I remember smacking around some pink blob creatures but since I'm not someone who typically likes RPG grinding it lost its luster when my friends weren't playing it.

woah dude, this game must be OLD, I'm only in middle school, about to start high school.

I seem to correlate it in my mind with an MMO text adventure game called "Achaea" because I think the same circle of friends played that as well.

Yeah I think Ragnarok has been going for like, 20 years at this point.

God, I feel so old...

Haha, I think you're me. I played the crap out of this game back in the day. I'm 36 now, but I occasionally still go back to experience the world again.

Collab aside, wow that art looks clean. I love it.

Aaahahah this is crazy. I too am an old fart who used to play this game in middle school. I always liked to pop back on over the years and have been currently deep in a campaign on a private server. Looks like I might be downloading the official game so I can check this out.

 

It's a pretty basic MMO by today's standards, but I kinda see it as more of an idle clicker with really cute graphics I can lose myself in while taking a break from work. Late game stuff gets intense, but that's a ways off... x.x

Man, I still think this game had an unforgettable class system. It blew my high school mind that I could just stay as a novice, and even evolve the class.
